Location and friendliness of the owners

Stayed in May 2025

Feel like home

Stayed in April 2025

The bed in the bedroom was against the toilet of the apartment next door, so we heard our neighbours' flushes, showers and hand washing each morning from 7.30am when they were around. Not the fault of the owners, it's just the layout of the place, and just unlucky because we are light sleepers... just a note for other light sleepers if you'd like to sleep in on your holidays.

Federica and her husband were super nice, friendly, chatty and helpful. Apartment had everything we needed. Great view of Siena and surrounding hills, their estate had the classic row of cypress trees as well! When the windows are closed, you don't hear the highway, OK for April when it's still cold-ish at night.

Nothing!

EVERYTHING! Federica and her family is so amazing, they really care for their guests. We had breakfast included and she take so much care to prepare also gluten free, lactose free and vegan breakfast. It was so worth it and delicious. The food is all bio, they produce everything by themself. It’s truly a gem. We are coming back 100%!

What a gem!! We arrived arround 8 PM so we could not really see the property well as it was dark. Federica and her husband welcomed us with such a warm smile and made us feel really confortable, showed us arround our apartment. The apartment is very big, 2 bedrooms in opposite side and a kitchen in between and each has its own batroom. This is not o property for those who seek luxury, although you have all the facilities, but seek originality of the Tuscan vibe anda warm place to stay. The house itself dates from 18 century so it ia just amazing. Besides the goodies with which we were welcomed, the breakfast…. Oh my God… you can not ask for more. Federica also asked us after 2 days of we preffer something else so she could personalize our breakfast. Also she gave us a lot of helpfull advises on where to go, to eat and park, and this is something she does with everyone that comes, but even so, you can see she does everything with passion. The next day we woke up in a perfect Tuscan scenery, it was magical. We relaxed a bit by the pool, in the evening we stayed drinking a glass of wine in the garden… perfect relaxation. I could not recommend this place more. People who left bad reviews…. Probably they were searching for something else or they just do not want to fully enjoy a holiday. Kisses Federica, hope we will see eachother again 🥰😘

We had no more days to stay

The peace, the warmth of the people and beautiful Toscane view!

The SS223 motorway is about 300 m away in a valley, you can slightly hear it when outside. Not an issue during the night or when inside.

Very nice farm stay near Siena. Friendly owners provided all information and help we needed. We felt like at home in the beautiful Tuscan landscape. Convenient and well equipped apartment, nice pool area. Options to walk arround the fields and wineyards, the village of Rocco nearby with restaurants and shops.

Nothing comes to my mind.

Federica with his husband (and lovely dog Chopin) are more than friendly hosts, willing to operatively answer all your questions and help with your needs, giving tips and recommendations. If you find a quiet spot in a classic Tuscany way, Podere Cartaio is your choice. Ideal outcoming point to visit all your favourite spots in Tuscany or Chianti region.

Nothing. Everything was splendid

On arrival we were personally greeted and were given some home made pasta, wine, cheese and salami which was most welcomed after our long journey.

Perfect accommodation! First of all, excellent location - in the middle of Tuscany. Twenty minutes from Sina and five minutes from the nearest village that has everything. Secondly, really nice hosts! They gave us lots of recommendations, helped us with the shopping and even brought us fresh homemade pasta and a bottle of wine. The view around the house is beautiful 😍

The apartment was very well equipped. Frederica and her husband were very friendly and very helpful in recommending places to visit and for parking in Siena.

We really enjoyed our stay. Frederica and her husband Guglielmo helped us out with places to walk and things to do. we especially enjoyed the Farm Experience where we made pasta and baked bread in their pasta factory and then tasted local delights afterwards. an unforgettable evening!
